From the excellent book review by Michael Senger in Tablet magazine:
Dr. Deborah Birx
Deborah Birx’s Guide to Destroying America
The former White House coronavirus coordinator’s monstrous autobiography explains how lockdowns happened
Virtually every page of Birx’s new book, Silent Invasion: The Untold Story of the Trump Administration, Covid-19, and Preventing the Next Pandemic Before It’s Too Late, reads like a how-to guide from the front lines of subverting a democratic superpower from within. It bears repeating, from the outset, that lockdowns were never part of any democratic country’s pandemic preparedness plan prior to Xi Jinping’s lockdown of Wuhan, China.
The lockdowns that Xi pioneered and Birx so zealously advocated for reportedly led to over 170,000 non-COVID excess deaths among young Americans while failing to meaningfully slow the spread of COVID anywhere they were tried. It would have been impossible for an enemy agent armed with anything less than nuclear weapons to have inflicted so much damage on America’s economy, social fabric, and historical freedoms in such a short period of time.
and,
From here, it gets worse. One page later, Birx tells us how traumatized she still is from having watched videos of Wuhan residents collapsing and falling dead in January 2020, and praises the “courageous doctor” who shared them online…
and yet,
Birx’s book was published in April 2022. The early videos she recounts as the source of her trauma were exposed as fake by the Associated Press and other outlets in February of 2020.
In the next paragraph, Birx tells us how she grew even more determined after seeing that the Chinese had built a hospital in 10 days to fight the virus…
but,
BuzzFeed had proved that images of rapid hospital construction in China were faked on Jan. 27, 2020.
worse yet,
Cue the maniacal laughter.
In what may be her most damning remark about the entire U.S. response to COVID, Birx tells us that she’d always known “two weeks to slow the spread” was a lie and knew in advance that she wanted the timeframe extended, despite having no data to support why such a step was scientifically sensible…
Birx spends quite a bit of time bragging about lying to and manipulating President Trump’s staff. Here is a quote from the book:
This wasn’t the only bit of subterfuge I had to engage in. Immediately after the Atlas-influenced revised CDC testing guidance went up in late August, I contacted Bob Redfield. … Less than a week later, Bob and I had finished our rewrite of the guidance and surreptitiously posted it. We had restored the emphasis on testing to detect areas where silent spread was occurring. It was a risky move, and we hoped everyone in the White House would be too busy campaigning to realize what Bob and I had done. We weren’t being transparent with the powers that be in the White House.
This woman should be indicted and imprisoned.

I guess C&C is a hot topic today? I enjoy Childers and his humorous take on current events and Tedtam has cleaned up his post and bolded important points. So I guess if just, the link is posted we will miss that. Being a Newbie I’m happy with however it land’s. Just glad to be exposed to it each day.… Read more »

I guess I can get back to canning ‘n stuff now that my time is…more freer.
Tedtam, I admire your persistence… I had a whiz-bang set up of self-watering planters one summer and was going to inundate us with tomatoes… It was hotter than the hinges of Hades, and even after starting the seeds inside in February, I wound up with a total of about 5 lbs of tomatoes – with a $60/month increase in water… Read more »

Hey Super Dave
Did you know a guy named Paul Lutus at the rocket ranch?
I was going over my garden’s status this evening before the skeeters chased me back inside. My melons are – surprisingly – trying to set more fruit. Not a lot, but heck, in this heat, anything is a win. The bush cukes have bitten the dust, so I need to pull out the remains and put new seeds in… Read more »

Abuck @5:15 PM I guess my big questions are: -How does a Nurse afford two residents in different States? It could have been a family address in Houston.

One more thing about the A/C and gas furnace in the Farm House, it will only be in the main part of the house, not the Room Across the Hall because even though it would be easy to get the air over there, the return would be a PITA. AND the wimpy split unit works good enough.
SuperDave, you are correct – punctuated with “how ’bout them apples, BOOOOOOY???”
Split AC units: we have one in the Room Across the Hall at the farm house. It costs about $2K installed and also has heat but it is wimpy on the AC side. It does fine if the temperature is not off the charts but sadly a $300 buck, 6K window unit will blow it’s doors off,…BUT it is real… Read more »
OK, I just stumbled in after a busy day and Shannon’s 2:38 pm made my day! I think it was Michael Berry that played that clip over and over about 5 years ago.
Silly me. I thought we were about sharing stuff that was important to us, whether it be politics, family, events, etc.
But that’s okay.
(((Poor Tedtam))))
That they do. But your grandbaby will never be as cute as my grandbabies.
Just preparing your for the inevitable. 😉
I come in from the garden and Hubby has “Law and Order” on the toob.

Shannon;
I just saw that in the news. I can’t wait for another expense to increase right now.
Tedtam, I thank God that this case was settled without ya’ll having to decide. I shall refrain from saying what I really think of their policy of not running lights and sirens without the permission of some dispatch supervisor in the ivory tower. It is very disturbing… I woulda never gotten picked for the jury because that flies in the… Read more »

Ah yes those lovely telemarketer THIEVES!
I’ve had scam calls where the caller I.D. said ‘Conoco Phillips’ & even the freakin Harris Co Sheriff’s office!
Me: “Does the Sheriff’s office know You are STEALING their phone number? “
Which of course generates a pretty rapid HANG UP.
A POX on ALL of their houses! no smiley
ABC13 reporting that it isn’t just T-Mobile but all phone companies are being forced by the PUC to jack up prices.
Apparently because the PUC lost a $200 million dollar lawsuit.

Jeff Childers as a unique way of drawing you into a topic. Take for example: Joe Biden, wearing a stunning leopard-print monokini, backstroked across the Rubicon yesterday.

So after the Gestapo raid on the real president’s home in Florida Kevin Luntz McCarthy has finally had enough.
I guess the other gazillion lawless deeds of the joined@thehipparties didn’t count.
